COVID IL decimates bullpen; Padres bats decimate what’s left of M’s pitching

Mariners 1 | Padres 16

not gonna lie . . .

I’m extremely disappointed in the Mariners (and MLB in general) regarding vaccine protocol. It is grossly unfair to the players and coaches who are vaccinated when those who aren’t get exposed and have to undergo the COVID quarantine. What happened to one for all, all for one? OR, taking one for the team? The bullpen was the one bright spot so far this season and now they are down FOUR arms for at least TEN days.

ON the MOUND

  • rare, HUGE struggle for Flexen (on a night where he REALLY needed to go l o n g) 1.2IP-10H-8R-8ER-1BB-2SO
  • new guys (Mills, Ramirez, Fetcher) were thrown into the fire and go badly burned –> for EIGHT runs

AT the PLATE

  • only FOUR total hits
  • only ONE for extra bases (Haniger double)
  • only ONE run (Seager RBI single in the 1st)

IN the FIELD

ONE DP (Walton-Crawford-Nottingham)
